I took on Amazon. @sanders.senate.gov & my No Bezos Act forced wages to $15. I took on the Foreign Policy Blob. Passed the first War Powers Resolution re Yemen, stood against war in Iran. I took on Wall Street. Stops private equity buying single family homes.

I took on Big Oil. Subpoenaed CEOs to testify under oath. I took on Big Pharma. Introduced a bill with @sanders.senate.gov & supported Trump's EO. I took on defense contractors. Forced pay back of $16 million. I was able to fight for people because I take no PAC or lobbyist money.

Trump's travel ban on citizens from over 12 countries is draconian and unconstitutional. People have a right to seek asylum.

In 2 days Arizona Democrats can make history and be the first state party to commit to ban billionaires and corporations from buying our primary elections. If you’re done with big money corrupting our democracy, endorse our People’s Primary resolution at stopbigmoneyAZ.com.

It is sad that nearly 20 years later Republicans are still trying to gut the Affordable Care Act instead of working to guarantee healthcare for all Americans. The gulf between the political class and what people want has never been wider.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

The GOP bill slashes Medicaid and food aid—while handing tax breaks to the ultra-rich. I challenged Republicans: keep modest cuts for the working & middle class, but scrap the $400K giveaway to the top 0.1%. Ending those breaks would cut over $1 trillion in deficits.

Ro Khanna: "Now they want to censor everyone's social media. And then they're lecturing the foreign countries about free speech?"

JD Vance says Roberts is profoundly wrong to call the Court a check on Congress & the Executive. He brags of being ‘inflammatory.’ When you call to defy even conservative jurists, you’re tearing apart our national allegiance to the Constitution. www.wsj.com/opinion/vanc...

Opinion | Vance Courts Trouble for Trump

He takes on Chief Justice John Roberts. That’s unhelpful to the administration.

True or False: The American economy is rigged for the ultra wealthy with wealth piling up in a few places while most Americans struggle to afford a decent life- health, auto, & home insurance, groceries & childcare - on their paychecks.

Telling people ‘we’re all going to die’ in response to Medicaid cuts & then doing a video quoting Jesus is stunning. Jesus healed the sick. He didn’t cut their care.

Absolutely bonkers — Joni Ernst doubles down on her “we are all gonna die” defense of Medicaid cuts while walking through a cemetery

Trump's latest rally is to distract from his reneging on his campaign promise to block Nippon Steel, a Japanese company, to take over US Steel with no commitments that Nippon will hire union workers @steelworkers.bsky.social or build modern steel plants.

If you think ‘we’re all going to die’ is a policy position, you have been in Washington too long. The whole point of politics is to save lives and make life better.

I represent Silicon Valley. There are more billionaires here than anywhere else on Earth. If I am saying “Tax the Billionaires,” why is that such a hard vote for the rest of Congress?

We as Democrats need to be willing to do interviews –– including tough ones –– without scripted soundbites and with different outlets, including local papers and alternative media. @marcosbreton.bsky.social @sacbee.com www.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...

America can’t lead on free speech while silencing foreign students at home.

My immigrant dad asked me where the missing 10% went when I scored a 90. He came to America for the chance to work hard & pursue excellence. Giving A’s for 80% & no homework is not equity—it betrays the American Dream and every parent who wants more for their kids.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 28(source)

I have made my share of wrong calls in politics. But this one aged well.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 27(source)

The 50 year average deficit is 3.7% of GDP -- well under 4% in peacetime. Current deficit is 7% of GDP. The House Big Beautiful Bill increases deficits to 7.9-8.6% of GDP for the next 10 years to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. Hence, the bond & stock market reaction.
